Another person mown down by a pavement cyclist
Just don't ride on the pavement! If you damage someone or something it is
essential and a legal requirement that it is reported appropriately, don't worry, your house insurance will cover the damages. http://www.bordercountiesadvertizer....collision.aspx |

Scratched pedestrian: Yes, I'm fine thank-you Cyclists: I'm really sorry, but glad you aren't badly hurt. Do you mind if I go on my way? Scratched pedestrian: OK - see ya. =====/Possible conversation===== A clear case for compulsory number plates. Oh yes. It would undoubtedly prevent such incidents. |

Certainly. It would have prevented the collision. Probably it would: since a registered bicycle would be less likely to be on the pavement in the first place. |
